Ich Bin Ich Lyrics in English LaFee

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ich Bin Ich by LaFee from German to English.
I feel lost alone
Please hold me real tight
I'm so weak and so small
Come stay close to me
I need you so much, because I
Lose myself in the dark
Don't come too close to me
I'm okay again, I'll
Handle it on my own
I'm strong, you'll see
Please let me go now, I know
I'm hard to understand
Please go, stay with me
I'm simply complicated
I'm girl, I'm woman
Sometimes angel, sometimes pig
I'm hot, I'm ice-cold
Sometimes young and sometimes old
I'm girl, I'm woman
Sometimes dumb and sometimes smart
I'm sour, I'm sweet
Sometimes nice and sometimes mean
Do you want everything or nothing?
That's how I am
Do you want everything or nothing?
I'm me
I don't know what you'll get tomorrow
Whether I annoy you the way I am
Or very tender and in love
Sometimes I'm hard, sometimes very soft
You know me well, I want everything
Right now or at once
Heaven for you
And sometimes hell
Whether I want that or not
What's normal anyway?
I'm the way I am, but always
There for you
Please go, stay with me
I'm simply complicated
I'm girl, I'm woman
Sometimes angel, sometimes pig
I'm hot, I'm ice-cold
Sometimes young and sometimes old
I'm girl, I'm woman
Sometimes dumb and sometimes smart
I'm sour, I'm sweet
Sometimes nice and sometimes mean
Do you want everything or nothing?
That's how I am
Do you want everything or nothing?
I'm me
Sometimes I'm bad, sometimes kind, I fly
High and fall deep
Sometimes unfair, sometimes fair
Sometimes good and sometimes bad
I'm girl, I'm woman
Sometimes angel, sometimes pig
I'm hot, I'm ice-cold
Sometimes young and sometimes old
I'm girl, I'm woman
Sometimes dumb and sometimes smart
I'm sour, I'm sweet
Sometimes nice and sometimes mean
Do you want everything or nothing?
That's how I am
Do you want everything or nothing?
I'm me
I'm me
I'm me
I'm me
I'm me

SONG MEANING

Ich Bin Ich is LaFee’s playful self-portrait of contradictions. One moment she is fragile and begging to be held, the next she pushes away and claims she can handle it all. By stacking opposite traits—girl and woman, angel and brat, hot and ice-cold—she shows that real people are never just one thing. The rapid switches in mood capture the roller-coaster feelings of growing up, letting listeners hear insecurity, confidence, sweetness, and sass collide in just a few lines.

At its heart, the chorus shouts a simple truth: “Willst du alles oder nichts? Ich bin ich”—if you want to love her, you have to accept the whole package. The song celebrates owning every shade of your personality, even the parts that confuse others, and reminds us that being “complicated” is totally normal. It is an energetic anthem for anyone learning to embrace their messy, ever-changing self while still promising loyalty to those who stick around.
